Day One

Today 11/11/14 has started the program. It was supposed to be yesterday but my husband brought home some delicious fruit bars from our neighbor's party on Sunday and I had them for breakfast which corrupted the whole day. But they were good.

So today 11/11/14 my breakfast started quite good:
1 - 8 oz cup of Carrot Juice
Breakfast pita:
2 Eggs Scrambled (Tip from my husband for fluffy eggs add a small amount of water when cooking.)
1 slice of Low Moisture Part Skim Mozzarella cheese
1 Chicken Sausage Roasted Garlic flavor - these are my favorite from Trader Joe's (TJ's), they're all natural with no preservatives or artificial ingredients. They come in other flavors too. And super easy to make, you can broil, grill or bake. Or pop in microwave. If you have the time broiling is best.
on 1/2 an Arnold Pocket Thin in Healthy Multi-Grain

Total calories: 650 (includes juice)

If I follow the 1500 calorie plan I now have 850 left
If I follow the 1800 calorie plan I now have 1150 left

I haven't quite decided on which plan, but I think it might be the 1800 plan since I need more calories to produce milk which has its off days on supply, eating 1800 would provide more food options for me and would satisfy my appetite.

Mid-Morning Snack - would have been earlier but I had my breakfast pretty late this morning at 9am so mid-morning snack is at 11:55 a.m. instead.
1 cup of Low fat Greek Yogurt Plain with Honey = 180+60 = 240 calories

Not sure on Greek yogurts, I prefer them because they have a lighter taste than regular yogurt and they are less in fat. Cabot is a brand I like because 100% of profits goes back to farmers but Trader Joe's Greek Honey Yogurt is really thick it tastes almost like a dessert, it is really good. Regular yogurt is fine too for this plan.
